Some slang mentioned in the quiz that didn't get an explanation:

11. Bop/Banger are both nouns used to describe really good songs. "To slap" is a verb you use when something is good, ie food, music.

11. Lit has two meanings. You can get, or be "lit" meaning you're partying hard, or under the influence. It can also be an adjective to describe something is good. "L" is short for lose/loss. To "take an L" means you failed at something/had an unfortunate event happen to you

16. On sight/Catch these hands are both threats that you will fight someone. ie, if I see him again, he's gonna catch these hands.

16. Ate and left no crumbs; understood the assignment are both verb phrases used to describe when someone does something very well.

17/18. Cheugy is an adjective used to refer to millennials who try too hard to be trendy.

18. Sheeple is a portmanteau of sheep and people. It is a noun meaning someone who follows the crowd without forming their own opinions
